Our People

Centerra aims to create workplaces where people are treated with respect and feel safe speaking up. Respect Connects, the company’s workplace inclusion program, focuses on respectful behaviour, cultural understanding, teamwork and employee engagement.

In British Columbia, Centerra works with Indigenous partners to support training and job opportunities. At Mount Milligan, the PETER program (Pre-Employment Training & Education Readiness) helps Indigenous community members prepare for jobs in mining. Developed with a local college, the program combines practical job-readiness training with communication skills and mental health awareness. Eight people took part in the program cohort, and six went on to find work in the mining sector.

Workplace Development

We invest in professional development, leadership training and workplace inclusion initiatives that help employees grow and succeed. Centerra’s core values are Win as a Team, Be Responsible Miners, Strive for Continuous Improvement and Deliver Results. These values guide how we work together, make decisions and remain accountable for performance.

Workplace Health and Safety

Safety is a core priority at Centerra. Work Safe | Home Safe is the company’s safety program, focused on training, safe work practices and preventing serious injuries. In 2025, Endako reached 10 years without a reportable injury and Kemess reached six years without an injury that caused an employee to miss work.

Centerra’s approach to safety is proactive and continuous, from exploration through operations, care and maintenance and closure. We promote open communication, shared accountability, early-warning safety measures and ongoing learning so health, safety and well-being remain central to how we work.
